COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONAn amber lager style that has all but disappeared over the last century. This soft, delicate beer has a touch more of a sweet finish than Helles. With a slightly higher alcohol level of 5%, this lager is still very drinkable. A subtle hop finish rounds out this delicious lager.

On tap in the lounge at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT.
Hazy, amber golden-copper with small off-white head and good lacing.
Aroma of caramel, grain, toffee, grass and light hops.
Taste of toasted grain, light fruit, caramel and modest floral hops.
Medium body and medium carbonation.
A very tasty lager.

Pours deeper gold with a medium white head. Aroma is toast and caramel. Taste is sweet with very light bitters that add a touch of crispness. Soft carbonation and a smooth mouth feel make this to easy to drink. Enjoyed.

Sampled at the brewery - Poures a light yellow in color with a medium bright white head. Aroma is mostly malt with some faint hoppiness. Flavor was light, but malty. Nice example of this comparatively "rare" beer.

More clear golden than amber, small white head. Aroma clean malt and bit of hay. Medium-light body, small amount of carbonation. Flavor does not seem like much at first but develops some yeasty malt and crisp grassy hop finish. Just off-dry. Nothing particularly memorable but well done, drinkable with food, just right for a session beer.

On tap (flight sampler) at Trapp Family Lodge: Pours slight hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Malty aroma, with a bit of honey. Flavor is more of the same. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this and how well balanced it was. Light carbonation and a smooth finish make this very drinkable. Definitely worth a try.

Pours a clear amber with a thin white rim that leaves some lacing. Nose is of cereals and grain husks or at least nuts. Taste is of multigrain bread and sweet-ish. Body is medium and carbonation as well. Good!

Draft to taster. Looks solid; a slightly hazy orange with off-white head. Smells of amber malt and lager yeast with a bit of grain as well. Tastes like it smells with a pleasant medium-bodied mouthfeel. A decent example of the style.
